University KZN Press. Scottsville 2006. ISBN 1869140478. An in-depth study detailing available evidence including Zulu oral testimonies that reveal a different Shaka to the conventional stereotyped myths of a blood-thirsty tyrant. We do not know when Shaka was born, when or why he was assassinated, nor even what he looked like. Nevertheless utilising oral history and reading between the lines in the sketchy and biased records available, Dan Wylie has pieced together a more likely picture of this giant in South African history from 20 years of historical research. £25.00 SOUTHERN AFRICA, GENERAL.
